TOF Action

Reset. A form feed is performed before a warm start when the prime
signal is asserted from the host. This setting is used only if the Prime
Signal parameter is enabled.

Do Nothing. No form feed is performed on reset.

Buffer Size in K

This option configures the amount of memory allocated for the Bi-Tronics port
buffer. You can designate the size of the printer buffer from 1 through 16
Kbytes.

Centronics (Parallel) Submenu

The Centronics submenu provides the options and settings available to
configure the interface as required for your application. These options and
available settings are outlined in the following paragraphs.

Note

The Centronics parameters in the printer must be set the same as the
interface in the host computer (at the other end of the data cable of the
printer). Otherwise, the printer might not work online, and data characters
from the computer might not print or might print as “garbled” text.
